RADIATOR WALL-BRACKET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 39, 191i '7.

Application filed November 28, 1914. Serial No. 874,502.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, RICHARD, D. Reno, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of \Vestfield, county of Hampden, State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Radiator Wall- Brackets, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to brackets for supporting radiators, and particularly what are known as wall radiators, and has for its object the provision of a device of the character specified which shall be adjustable and simple in construction, and easy of operation.

In the drawings- Figure 1 is a peispective view of a bracket made in accordance with my invention.

Fig. 2 is a top view of the supporting member.

In thedrawings, a denotes a wall, or a cleat attached to a wall and to which the bracket is secured. b is the support which is of substantial width and the upper face of which is backwardly and downwardly inclined. c is a bracket having at its lower rear edge a tapered projection d adapted to fit onto the upper edge of the support I). The upper face of the bracket 0 is chainbered as at e to receive a nut f and the head 7 of a bolt 72. which projects laterally from the bracket. 21 is a threaded rod which engages the nut f, and at its lower end carries the bracket foot is in which the radiator is supported, and which has at its rear a boss Z which bears against the wall. The bolt k, which extends between the sections of a radiator, is threaded at its end to receive a not on and a block a which fits between sections at the front of the radiator and holds it in place. Of course it will be understood that two or more of these brackets are used with each radiator, as may be required. It will be observed that the support Z) can be secured to the wall at an approximately correct position, and then the bracket adjusted on the support in order to bring it into exactly correct position with relation to the radiator sections. It will further be observed that by turning the threaded rod 2', the radiator can be raised or towered to be properly adjusted or trued up, and while this adjustment is being made the bracket foot Z: is always supporting the weight of the radiator, obviating the necessity of first relieving the bracket of the weight of the radiator in order to make the adjustment.

\Vhile I have shown one embodiment of the invention it is apparent that it is susceptible of alterations and modifications without departing from its spirit, as set forth in the appended claim.

I claim as my invention:

In a device of the character described, a bracket member, a chamber in the upper surface thereof, a nut located in said chamber, a bolt with its head located in said chamber and projecting laterally therefrom, fastening means engaging the end of said bolt, a rod located below said bracket member and passing therethrough, andhaving engagement with said nut, and a bracket foot carried by said rod.
